The Temple University athletic department announced Sunday that head coach Stan Drayton is leaving the Owl football program after nearly three seasons with the team.

In a statement, Director of Athletics Arthur Johnson thanked Coach Drayton "for his commitment to Temple University, our student-athletes and the football program" during his tenure. "Under his direction, our student-athletes have excelled in the classroom, been outstanding members of the community and Coach Drayton has represented the University with a tremendous amount of integrity and class. I wish him and his family well in their future endeavors," Johnson said.

Drayton was hired by Temple in December 2021 after spending five seasons as associated head coach at Texas. He also had stints at Villanova, Penn and his alma mater Allegheny (Pa.) College throughout his 30 years of coaching.
